I have an absolute terrible short term memory. Well, my long term memory actually isn’t that great either. So basically, I can’t remember shit. Which really sucks when I try to go out grocery shopping without a list because I always think that I can just run in real quick to get a few things, and that’s never the case. I just end up buying something I didn’t really need (I am quite the victim of impulse purchases), getting all the way home, and realizing that I forgot what I went to the store for in the first place. It’s pretty annoying. Not to mention time consuming. I’m a big fan of lists (when you have no memory, you pretty much have to write everything down), but I either forget to take them with me or misplace them. Clearly, I need some help.
Something like the To-Do Tattoo (Perpetual Kid, $3.49) is right up my alley. It’s a portable list without the hassle of paper. I mean, sure you could just write a note on your hand, high school style, but that’s a little ghetto, don’t you think? Why poison your skin with toxic markers that never come off long after you’ve fulfilled whatever agenda you had? Instead, with a temporary notepaper tattoo and a washable ink gel pen, you can have a semi-permanent list of your itinerary.
Think of it as an upgrade on the traditional note on hand. You can use it to pick up a few groceries or to remind you that your mom is coming over later and that you should probably clean up that hellhole you call an apartment (her words). Just don’t use it to cheat on a test. That’s not cool, man.
3 out of 5 stars.
